SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Agent Scott Boras defended himself and the leadership of the Major League Baseball Players Association against a faction pushing to replace the union's lead negotiator.
"When you have inexperienced people who haven't been doing this for a long time, they make statements that are just not supported by facts," Boras said Wednesday after a news conference held by the San Francisco Giants to introduce pitcher Blake Snell, one of his clients.
During an online meeting Monday, players pushed for union executive director Tony Clark to remove deputy executive director Bruce Meyer, who led talks for the 2022 collective bargaining agreement.
